Back From The Valley Of Death
I made it back from Death Valley Yesterday evening. It was a fun trip. I'm going to put together a trip page and post photos and do all that rah rah stuff in the next few days, but to summarize we camped outside (no tent) at the Stovepipe Wells campground where it got to below freezing at night (goose down is the best discovery ever!). We also did 4 hikes, 1 valley hike and 3 canyon hikes. I think Death Valley is a place that I've always envisioned as a hot desert wasteland when in reality it is not a wasteland at all and it is certainly not hot in mid-December. I will definitely go back because there are a lot of interesting areas to explore and good hiking to do.
